If the Jets are to suffer through another embarrassing season, at least they'll be doing it away from the glare of the national spotlight.

The 2017 NFL schedule was released on Thursday, and the Jets know when and where they'll be playing this fall.

Not on prime-time.

Despite a slate of big-time opponents, the Jets are scheduled to play only once on prime-time this season, Thursday, Nov. 2 against the Bills.

After the Jets' 5-11 debacle of a season in 2016, and their roster purge this off-season -- which saw them part ways with stars Darrelle Revis, Nick Mangold and Brandon Marshall -- it's hard to blame the networks for not investing in the Jets this coming season.

And so the Jets will play all four teams who played in the last two Super Bowls -- New England, Atlanta, Denver and Carolina -- in regular, Sunday afternoon games.

Considering what happened a year ago, when the Jets played four games in primetime and were embarrassed with blowout losses in three of them, perhaps that's not such a bad thing.

Here's a detailed look at the slate of games. Individual tickets will go on sale to the public on Wednesday, April 26, at 10 am.

Jets at Bills

Sept. 10, 1 p.m., CBS

New Era Field, Orchard Park, N.Y.

The Jets open the season in Buffalo, getting their first look at new Bills coach Sean McDermott, who takes over for the fired Rex Ryan. The Jets’ Week 2 primetime win over the Bills in 2016 was their first win in Orchard Park since 2011, snapping a five-game overall losing streak against Buffalo.

Jets at Raiders

Sept. 17, 4 p.m., CBS

Oakland Alameda Coliseum, Oakland, Calif.

The Jets head west early, for a difficult matchup with a Raiders team that figure to be contenders again as quarterback Derek Carr returns from injury. This is the Jets’ fifth meeting with the Raiders in the last seven seasons, and their third trip to Oakland since 2011. The Jets have lost their last two games in Oakland. The Raiders lead the all-time series 24-19-2.

Dolphins at Jets

Sept. 24, 1 p.m., CBS

MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford

The Jets home opener comes in Week 3 against division rival Miami. The Dolphins have won three of their last four games at MetLife Stadium, including last year’s embarrassing 34-13 loss in primetime in December. The Jets lead the all-time series against the Dolphins 53-49-1.

Jaguars at Jets

Oct 1, 1 p.m., CBS

MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford

The Jaguars are coming off a disappointing year and have a new head coach in Doug Marrone, who will try to get the most out of quarterback Blake Bortles — who has not met expectations. It’s the second Jacksonville trip to MetLife in three years — the Jets beat the Jaguars 28-23 in 2015. The all-time series is tied 6-6 with the Jags looking for their first win over the Jets since 2009.

Jets at Browns

Oct. 8, 1 p.m., FOX

FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland

The Jets travel to Cleveland for the second consecutive season after both teams finished last in their respective divisions. The Jets have won their last four games against the lowly Browns, including a come-from-behind win in 2016. Both teams are expected to struggle this season, so this won’t be a marquee matchup. Cleveland leads the all-time series 13-11.

Patriots at Jets

Oct. 15, 1 p.m., CBS

MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford

The defending Super Bowl champs come to MetLife for their first matchup of the season with the Jets, who have gone 2-10 against the Patriots since the start of the 2011 season. But both of those wins have come at MetLife Stadium, so this will be their best chance. The Patriots lead the all-time series 61-54, and have won 25 of 34 games since 2001.

Jets at Dolphins

Oct. 22, 1 p.m., FOX

Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Fla.

The last time the Jets were in South Florida, they suffered their most crippling and heartbreaking loss of 2016 — falling victim to Kenyan Drake’s 96-yard kickoff return in the fourth quarter. But the Jets have won three of their last four against the Dolphins in Miami, so perhaps they'll get back on track.

Falcons at Jets

Oct. 29, 1 p.m., FOX

MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford

Atlanta will try to remain one of the best teams in football after coming tantalizingly close to a Super Bowl title, before the Patriots’ remarkable comeback. With quarterback Matt Ryan, Atlanta should remain a force and be heavily favored against the Jets. This is only the 12th meeting between these two teams since 1973 and the first since 2013. Atlanta leads the all-time series 6-5.

Bills at Jets

Nov. 2, 8:25 p.m., NFLN

MetLife, Stadium, East Rutherford

This is the only prime-time game of the season for the Jets, on a Thursday night. Their play against Buffalo was one of their few positives in 2016 — they swept the season-series for the first time in five years. Buffalo leads the all-time series 60-53 over the Jets. But they’ve gone 2-5 at the Meadowlands since the Jets made the move from Giants Stadium to MetLife Stadium.

Jets at Buccaneers

Nov. 12, 1 p.m., CBS

Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Fla.

The Jets head to Tampa for the first time since 2009 for only their 12th all-time game against the Buccaneers dating back to 1976. Jameis Winston and the Bucs will be trying to build on a solid 9-7 season in 2016. The Jets lead the all-time series 10-1 and haven’t lost to Tampa Bay since December of 1984.

Panthers at Jets

Nov. 26, 1 p.m., FOX

MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford

The Jets return from their bye week to face Cam Newton and the Panthers. Carolina made the Super Bown in 2015, but missed the playoffs last year and is looking to get back on track -- it certainly has the talent. It’s the first meeting between the Jets and Panthers since 2013, when the jets lost 30-20 in Charlotte. The all-time series is tied 3-3.

Chiefs at Jets

Dec. 3, 1 p.m., CBS

MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford

The good news for the Jets: Ryan Fitzpatrick isn’t around to throw six interceptions the way he did in Kansas City last year. But this is one of the toughest games on the schedule, considering Kansas City has won 22 of its last 26 regular season games. The Chiefs lead the Jet 19-18-1 in the all-time series.

Jets at Broncos

Dec. 10, 4 p.m., CBS

Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver

Another tough game — the Jets face all four Super Bowl teams in the last two seasons— against Denver’s vaunted defense. The Broncos have taken four of the last five games against the Jets, including the most recent meeting in October of 2014 at MetLife. The Jets are 1-2 in Denver since the Broncos moved to their new stadium 2001. Denver leads the all-time series 19-15-1.

Jets at Saints

Dec. 17, 1 p.m., CBS

Mercedes-Benz Superdome, New Orleans

New Jets offensive coordinator John Morton goes against his former team, where he was the receivers coach for the last two seasons. This will be only the sixth game the Jets have played in the Superdome, and the first since 2009. Drew Brees could have a field day if the Jets' pass defense isn't much improved.The all-time series between the teams is tied at 6-6.

Jets vs. Chargers

Dec. 24, 1 p.m., CBS

MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford

The Jets' home finale will be their first meeting versus the Chargers since a 31-0 beat down in San Diego three years ago that was the beginning of the end for Rex Ryan. Now, the Chargers visit the Jets for the first time since moving to Los Angeles earlier this year. The Chargers lead the all-time series 21-14-1, including a 3-2 mark in the Philip Rivers era.

Jets at Patriots

Dec. 31, 1 p.m., CBS

Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Mass.

The season comes to an end in New England on the final day of 2017, as the Jets try to win their first game in Foxborough since the 2010 playoffs. The Jets haven’t won a regular-season game at New England since 2008 when Tom Brady was injured. They haven’t beaten Brady in the regular season at Foxborough since 2006. Happy New Year?
